So today’s post about painting chairs is more of a maintenance post than a new DIY, but there were a few things about this that I thought could be helpful to you. Furniture makeovers are something I clearly love to do. If you have a good quality piece, it’s better to update than replace. The […]

How to Paint A Porch Floor With Concrete Paint
One project that I’ve thought about doing for years is updating my porch floor with concrete paint. This year I moved it up on the priority list and finally got it done. It has made such a tremendous difference that I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner! This is how it looked before. I […]
DIY Tipped Wheelbarrow Planter
Working on our yard has been a top priority around here. I’m trying to get the major projects out of the way before it gets too hot. This wheelbarrow planter is a cute idea I thought some of you might be interested in. We have a friend who is a landscaper and he was over […]
Painted Shed Transformation
Just when I thought I could no longer be surprised by the transformative powers of paint, I was proved wrong. My painted shed is another testament to what can be done with a gallon of paint! I had been thinking of painting our shed for a year or two, but I have two beautiful vines […]
Transform Your Bathroom With Sink Paint
I mentioned when I shared my bathroom makeover the changes I made in this room didn’t require any major renovations. One project involved transforming the vanity with sink paint, and today I want to show you how I did that. My vision for an all-white bathroom with brass accents didn’t include a budget for replacing the […]
Rescue Restore White Dresser Makeover
We all have that one (or more) outdated piece of furniture that we mean to replace but never seem to get around to it, don’t we? One of those pieces in my house is my daughter’s dresser. I have a specific idea of what I’d like to replace this with, but I’ll probably only find […]
Painting Brick The Easy Way
Last year a friend of mine bought her first home. My husband and I started helping her with some projects over there last summer. We started with her living room, but never fully finished that. We got sidetracked for a while, but recently she mentioned she really wanted to get her back porch updated. I’ve […]
Game Changing Stencils – DIY Wall Decor
Happy New Year friends! I hope your holidays were fun! Christmas is my favorite holiday, but after a break from blogging and DIY’ing I was itching to get a project going. I’ve had a blank spot on my kitchen wall since we installed our board and batten last summer. Considering it’s been six months and […]
How to Remove Paint From Door Hinges
Want to know what the opposite of fun is? Removing paint from door hinges! Seriously, this was a mundane project but as always, the effort was worth it in the end. I can’t blame anyone but myself for these painted hinges, as I’m the one who does all the painting in our house. No excuse […]
Design Challenge with Wagner & A Giveaway
Last week I had the opportunity to take part in a design challenge in Minnesota hosted by Wagner. I’ve never met a design challenge I didn’t like so, of course, I said yes! Only nine bloggers were invited to participate, so I was honored to be one of them! I flew to Minnesota on Wednesday […]
Let’s Get Creative – Paint Your Way To A Side Income
I firmly believe everyone needs a creative outlet. For me that is home decorating, refinishing furniture, reviving flea market finds and anything home related. If you follow along with me, I’m guessing all of this interests you as well so let’s get creative together! Today, rather than show you what project I’m working on, I want […]
Painted Furniture – Armoire Makeover
The one room in my house that always seems to get neglected when it comes to decorating is my master bedroom. I guess that is because it’s a room that guests rarely see so it’s not a priority. We purchased a matching set of furniture for the room when we first moved in that now looks […]
